The 48-year-old says she doesn't intend to swap her £80,000 property in West Lothian for something a little more pricey and private.

"I'm not going anywhere - nobody's pushing me out of my house. I'm absolutely fine but it was very concerning for everyone," says the singer, who found a stranger in her living room when she returned home this week.

"I think he got more of a scare than I did because he ran off. The matter is in hand and the police have been excellent."

Since the break-in, music mogul Simon Cowell has reportedly arranged a team of minders to watch over her.
